It also helps that, at least here in Ontario (Canada), diesel is a very popular substitute to run in conventional oil-burning furnaces - having a generator is almost a no-brainer when you've already got tons of fresh fuel on hand.
On the other hand, 27kW is a LOT of generating capacity for one home. I consider that the average home (at least in my area) only has 200A service, and I don't think I've ever heard anyone complain that it's not enough (outside my dad who wanted a 16-person hot tub for two people).

- dkdk8283 5y agoThat’s not how you calculate amps. We don’t know if it’s single or three phase. It’s 113 amps @ 240v single phase.
- quickthrowman 5y agoYou are correct, my bad. It’s 120/240 single phase, so 113 amps. https://www.generac.com/generaccorporate/media/library/content/all-products/generators/resi-comm/protector/0l0036sby.pdf https://www.generac.com/generaccorporate/media/library/conte...
